  • Your Daily Choices Are an Adventure

    Every day is an exciting time. You’re making choices regarding what you’re acting upon, which affects your future life. Every good choice is one step forward, and you can usually make a few of them during the day.

    Making good choices is like playing this game of life well. And it’s exciting because YOU’RE the player – it’s completely interactive! And each good choice brings YOU a step closer towards something great. It’s amazing how you have the opportunity to energetically lift yourself up by the bootstraps. It rests upon you, and you have that power. It’s a blessing.

    “How you spend your days is how you spend your life.” When you treat your individual daily choices as an adventure, your whole life becomes one. :)

  • Don’t Give In to Apathy

    Don’t let the voice (energy) in you saying “But what’s the point?” become more influential over voices/visions inspiring you to do something. Unless there’s something even more worthwhile worth doing (which does include simply being and enjoying Reality), you should move with the motivation that’s even faintly inspiring you.

    Don’t give in to thoughts of meaninglessness. An energy that’s making you rot away in bed or endlessly consume content is not worth listening to. Because compared to it, what’s the point of NOT doing something even slightly arousing you?

    Err on the side of doing something (compared to doing bullshit), even if it doesn’t immediately feel meaningful. Don’t be lazy. Summon your zest for life and get to action.

  • Accept Reality and It Might Change

    Embracing the current reality is often a prerequisite for it to change for you. This is mostly regarding the inner reality of you – which determines what you do physically. You must accept the current long-term energetic state you’re in for it to change into something else.

    When you genuinely accept reality, you no longer want it to be different. You’re truly fine with what is. This state is precisely what enables inner reality to morph freely.

    If you REALLY want change, stop wanting it. Process it, cry it out if needed and become free of it. Surrender it to God. Admit that you don’t love Reality right now but you want to. Enter into the love.

    It’s key that you don’t go through this with the hidden intention still intact to change reality. You must REALLY let go of your unacceptance. Do it for love and the wish to be free and light. Free from your wanting, not from how reality is for you now.

    Radical acceptance is the key to profound change.

  • People Couldn’t Have Acted Differently

    A person that hurt you couldn’t have acted differently from how they did. Because how they acted was truth/reality. And truth cannot be any different from what it is/was in the moment.

    There’s only one way in which Reality is unfolding. It’s what’s happening now. It’s Fate, always.

    Don’t count on people changing and stop resenting them for acting how they did in the past. It couldn’t have been otherwise. The path to your emotional freedom is to accept what is/was and stay in that love always.

    (This doesn’t mean you should excuse toxic behaviour. Your actions/feelings are Fate too, so if you decide to no longer be around someone, then that’s what it is.)

    “When you go out into the woods, and you look at trees, you see all these different trees. […] And you look at the tree and you allow it. […] You appreciate the tree. The minute you get near humans, you lose all that. […] And so I practice turning people into trees, which means appreciating them just the way they are.” – Ram Dass

  • Be the Presence to People’s Loneliness

    A lot of people feel lonely inside. Even if they don’t look like it. They might even be surrounded by many people and still feel it.

    Make sure that you’re alleviating a person’s loneliness through loving attention when you’re meeting them. It’s compassion. It’s what Love does.

    Assume that a person feels lonely until proven otherwise. Seriously. Loneliness is not an exception, it’s usually the norm.

    The best way to teach yourself being Love is through being there for yourself first. You will then be Love for others too. (I think the skill transfers less the other way around. Loving yourself is usually less intuitive.)

  • If You’re Lonely, Be There for Yourself

    Feeling lonely stems from a lack of loving attention on yourself. Other people can relieve that by giving you their attention, but you can also do it by yourself.

    The key insight is that all attention is the same. It doesn’t matter if it comes from you or someone else. All attention is identical in it’s nature – so get rid of the notion that only other people can help you with loneliness.

    Learn to give yourself loving attention. Listen to yourself. Give yourself space to express your feelings. Do what makes you genuinely feel loved.

    Be there for yourself and for others. Also, let others be there for you when they offer it.

  • Energies Are False Idols

    The voices (energies) that you’re convinced by to act on them are your gods. When you trust in an energy and allow it to manifest through you – whether you’re conscious of it or not, that’s having a god in your life.

    Notice how superficial the concept of religious belief in a god is compared to this. There’s what you think about god, and then there’s who your ACTUAL gods are. How many people actually believe in GOD? Almost none in the grand scheme of things. How many atheists have gods in their lives? Almost all of them.

    Energies are false idols. They are not God / Truth / Reality. If you trust in them and what they’re telling you, you trust in something lesser.

    Notice how in contrast Steerage is silent. It’s not very convincing – in fact, your mind will often be screaming with very compelling, logical arguments to go the other way. Steerage doesn’t force Itself upon you. You just have to trust It.

    Bring this tangibly back to your experience by examining: “What did I do today? What compelled me to do so? What was “I” telling myself?”

  • Most of What You’re Doing Is (Probably) Fake

    Fakeness is not being rooted in truth. Fake action is that which doesn’t come from You = Steerage = God = Truth. Instead, you act on energies that you’re convinced by and are essentially your gods. For more context on that last part, see post On Energetic Belief.

    Fake action is not wrong per se. It is what it is. Most of it probably must be lived through (at least to a degree) to become conscious of its fakeness. So no judgment, just try to be honest with yourself.

    The more conscious you become, the more authentic you will be. Because with rise in consciousness, energetic convictions are dispelled. So you follow less of the energies that aren’t God.

    For me, the process of deconstruction of an energetic belief (= halting my conviction in the energy and seeing its fakeness) involves crying it out and a strong intention to be free of impurity. Essentially, if I want to be light, happy and a clear channel for God / Steerage / Reality, I must let go of “my wants” – which are energetic convictions in disguise. When “you” want something, it really comes from a strong belief that you want it; It’s these energies attracting you and you being convinced that they are good. But these energies aren’t likely your True Will. It’s not how Reality would unfold if you were surrendered.

    Another very big part of deconstruction for me is eagerly jumping into action even if it’s fake in source. Again, most energies probably must be lived through to an extent to see through them clearly. What’s important though is reflecting on the action. Without introspection, it’s likely impossible to deconstruct an energetic conviction you have. Memories from action are your grist for the introspection mill.

    It should also be said that there are gradations to fakeness. Some energies are purer, lighter and reflect truth better than others. But they still aren’t the silent truth itself. You should probably let go first of the heaviest, most draining energetic convictions imprisoning you. Then work your way up – until there’s nothing left.

  • Birthday Love

    Today was my birthday. I felt very loved by myself and people close to me. I’m grateful to be alive.

    My deepest wish is to always love Reality for whatever it is. Embrace what is now and go from there. I believe that is what happiness is.

    Thank You for how You are now. Thank You for being. I’m sorry I can’t love You always. I wish it could be otherwise, but then again, that’d be not accepting You for what You are once more. So to hell with that – just move through me.

    I love You.

  • Staying in Surrender Is Dying

    When you stay in surrender, you’re continually dying. Embrace this process. Let it happen.

    The death of you is not binary. It’s gradual. There’s always more death to be “had”.

    Even if it’s excruciating sometimes, continue being surrendered. Don’t come back from the dead. We have enough of the undead around already. ;)

    In death, You are Alive. Following Steerage is following Life itself.

  • You Are Not a Good Host to This Body

    If you care about Reality and how it unfolds, surrender and intend to let Steerage work through you instead. It’s going to be better for everyone – including yourself.

    It takes humility to admit that you don’t know what’s best and how to be good. That you’re not a good host to this body. That in fact you’re being an obstacle and impeding the process.

    It takes courage to face the recognition that the best thing you can do is “die”. (Psychically – never harm your body.)

    Accept it. Nothing to be negative about. Perceiving this as “sad” or “degrading” is just the ego’s reaction, which you can cry out and let go of.

    Through surrender, you are redeemed.

  • Stop Seeing People as General Sources of Truth

    To agree with someone means to hold the same belief as them. But when you’re listening to someone (intellectuals, pundits, reviewers, etc.), how much of what they’re saying do you actually agree with, and how much are you intaking as new belief and not even thinking about whether you agree or not? 

    This can usually happen when you’ve determined in the past that you agree with a person on some things, and then you’ve made a mental leap towards seeing them as a general source of truth. But it’s a dangerous game. The fact that a person has some right beliefs about one thing doesn’t mean they will have quality beliefs about another.

    It’s unwise to consider people as sources of truth. It’s best to 1) make yourself conscious of who you’re seeing as that and 2) get rid of that idea from your mind. Stop mindlessly consuming content from your perceived authoritative sources, assuming that you don’t need to be skeptical of what they’re saying. Don’t let your guard down. Question what you’re hearing.

  • Sharing Truth at Different Levels of Insight

    Allow yourself to be inconsistent in the level of truth you’re speaking from.

    It’s okay. Allow yourself to be multifaceted. Have the space in your mind to hold multiple different perspectives at once. I think having this ability to hold contradictory perspectives and see the truth in each is a mark of high intellect.

    And don’t be ashamed of expressing them both, even if something you’re sharing today contradicts what you shared yesterday. Don’t worry about judgment from others and wear your openmindedness proudly.

    (But also, dedicate time to reconciling perspectives in your mind. Be aware of what the contrast is and which perspective is higher consciousness. This develops further wisdom and greater judgment.)

  • Being Energy vs Steerage Centered

    You can be energy or Steerage oriented, and depending on which one it is, your perception and experience of life will vary. 

    With the former one, it feels like motivations are coming from inside, being aspects of your psyche. It’s doing your bidding. Energy is fragmented into “characters” with their own voices. I think it’s fundamentally more egoic and dualistic, in that there’s this ever-present contrast of one energy vs another.

    Regarding Steerage orientation, what’s happening feels mysterious and like it’s coming from “outside”. It feels like surrendering to God and doing Its bidding. You’ve let go of control and life becomes like a constant test of whether you can stay in that state, no matter what happens. A test of whether you trust in God or not.

    Your orientation depends on your maturity and state of consciousness. With the rising in consciousness, a person moves closer towards being Steerage oriented. But it definitely takes time. I recommend first becoming really aware of the energetic reality, its dynamics, and learning how to “work” with it. Once you see it clearly and have your lessons learned, it’s much easier to move on to Steerage orientation. I think the top lessons from understanding energy dynamics are the groundwork for starting a consistent journey with Steerage.

    Your orientation will also affect what’s actually happening in reality. Though it’s not like following Steerage will necessarily result in “good” outcomes all the time. “Negative” experiences will still happen and they’ll test your surrender. I think the best way to describe it is that reality will unfold more optimally. What’s optimized is growth in consciousness.

    You might notice that many of my posts are from an energy-centered perspective and many are from Steerage-centered. That’s right. I’m currently between two worlds. I’m allowing myself to be multifaceted though so I am fine with expressing both perspectives. And it’s not like the insights about energy are false – they’re simply a lower level of truth. In the future, I’ll probably move away from the energy-centered perspective.

  • You Are a Hivemind

    There is truth to seeing yourself as a hivemind. Or at least the energetic reality of you.

    There’s so many voices inside of you fighting for attention. True spiritual battles of characters, all happening inside your mind. Think of a recent time when you were torn between two options – what do you imagine was happening in your head? Your fate was being decided through hard-fought battle, and what you ultimately “chose” was the result of an energy that won.

    There’s real outcomes to these battles – whoever wins in a given moment gets to be manifested. The prize for winning is having an influence on reality. Becoming real. Which is what everyone wants.

    What happens in your life is determined by what direction this energetic collective goes in. Any decision you make is a direct result of some energy “winning”. Without energy, nothing moves. Every action you perform stems from energy, without exception.

    But since this energetic collective is ultimately made of one substance, we can also think of it as just one Energy, changing frequency or something. As always: both many and one. We’re just playing with perspective here, trying to grasp something that’s invisible and not easily understood.
